Matt,
Your site's invaluable and very much appreciated.
It's allowed me to converse daily over a period of 5-1/2 years with an
extraordinary bunch
of builders who have advised, encouraged and helped me to successfully
complete and fly a 601.
I've always found this site to be a connection and refuge for a one on
one exchange of good ideas.
This friendly community of builders are indebted to you for providing
and maintaining this
site. Please keep up the good work and stay with us.
Please find enclosed my check for $50.00. (Gift is waived.)
Thanks again,
Larry McFarland - Zenith 601HDS at www.macsmachine.com

Doug,
I called Zenith about this a 2 1/2years ago, I have the outboard tanks.They
had told me to move the jury strut bracket inboard so the other rivet line
lies above rib #2. This puts the rivet that would show up under the outboard
tank over rib #2 and the ones that would have been over rib # 2 under the
inboard tank. But the tank channel that attaches to rib #2 pushes the main tank
further inboard allowing it to clear the rivets. How much this changes the jury
strut geometry in reality is yet to be seen as I have not got the wings
attached yet. It looks like the jury strut length might be slightly longer. I
have
not seen any changes in plans on this so give them a call.
Here is a pic of my install.

Debo,
I have an early 601HD. The Horiz. Stab. fiberglass tips were't even
available in 1995 so I don't have them. I guess I could have made some as I
did with my Midget Mustang I years ago or I could even add them now with
extra work to match paint etc. I don't know about speed reduction or
increase. No one has said my airplane is "ugly" because I don't have them
and I didn't have to do the installation work and my plane is that much
lighter too!I built this airplane as what I call "my 100MPH low wing all
metal J-3" and it has filled that roll nicely. I'm amazed as I read all the
emails about all the "stuff'" everybody puts on these little 600 pound 100
to 110 MPH (601HD) airplanes. (such as Auto Pilots, extra structure, thicker
skins, stiffners , different coolers, coolant overflow tanks, etc.)
I do support the installation of an "access door" on the bottom of the
fuselage. It is hard for an older man like me to crawl/get into the aft
fuselage.
Otherwise I used all the standard stuff as supplied by ZAC and it has done
well for 500hours over the past nine years with normal wear and tear. But
hey, everybody has a right to do what they want. The main thing is to enjoy
the building process and then enjoy the flying, right?

Doug,
Here is a pic of the Zenith demo. Notice the location of the jury strut
bracket.
It is similar to what I have done. I don't think that the demo has the new
aux tanks but you can see that the brackets are installed with the other rivet
line centered over rib #2. If it did
have the tanks the rivets would not intefere with the inboard or outboard.
Just another tip: if you are installing the aux tank with the provided
rubber fuel lines do not use the right angle nipple provided, use a straight
nipple on the finger screen. It eases installation quite a bit and if you put an
access panel under there it can be removed.
Sorry, the list will not get these pics.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Liming <gary@liming.org>
Hello List,
This morning 1776G, my 801 project performed its first
flight! Despite a lengthy build (5 years, mostly due to personal
interruptions and illness) it is now airworthy. I will be flying off
the 40 hours before painting it, especially now that is too cold to
paint it until spring.
After a high speed taxi test, she took off easily and quickly climbed
to altitude. I did one pass over the field, and came around for a
second approach, and landed without incident. Controls performed
perfectly and it trimmed out easily. What a hoot!
I want to say thanks to the many friends who've helped me, especially
to Chris Heintz for a great design! The XP-360 engine is a great
piece of machinery, and I know I'm gonna have a blast with this thing!
Smile is now locked in permanent mode.

Congratulations Gary!
I can't even guess what the lift with your machine is like, but it
must be great fun. Will be interested in what your performance
figures are in future flights.
Good Luck! and fly safe.
